I drive on public roads that I PAY FOR in taxes, every time I fill my gas tank (though the toll roads are in far better shape and reasonable in price). Children go to public schools that I PAY FOR with property taxes and local sales taxes. Most of the produce I buy is from other countries because America pays farmers NOT to grow food. But even the food that is grown and subsidized here is subsidized against my will. Why should I pay for something I don't want, don't need, and certainly wouldn't use if given a choice? But even these subsidies are paid for by me in the form of tariffs. Remember I'm not against taxes, I'm against INCOME taxes and against any taxes to pay for unconstitutional parts of government.

I don't make that promise lightly. I hope we can return America peacefully to a constitutional republic but it's not looking good. And if it comes to it, I will kill in my defense. I certainly don't want this to happen. I would be far happier if government would just willingly give up the powers they have usurped, and remove the unconstitutional parts of government willingly. But how likely do you think that is to happen? Despots never give up power willingly, so it's up to those of us who still love America and still respect the principles on which this nation was built to do what is necessary to remind government that they are the servants and we are the masters and that nobody is entitled to anything based on their wants or needs.
